Little luxe on the Prairie

by CAMILLE CHIN  June 2012

There’s a new kid on one of downtown Saskatoon’s blocks and his name is James. He was born this past spring and he exudes luxury. What’s more, he’ll be happy to host you the next time you’re in town. He’s got 59 rooms to spare, unless, of course, the new James Hotel is all booked up, which is possible seeing as how it’s “the city’s first luxury hotel.” Located on the bank of the South Saskatchewan River, the boutique hotel was designed with the river valley landscape in mind: its neutral palette includes golden straw tones and beiges reflective of prairie wheat and grasses, and pale greys and blues that point to the quality of prairie light and sky. All nightly stays include Wi-Fi and a full breakfast. (855) 244-6446; thejameshotel.ca[CC]
